ALCS G7 LB II: All I ask of you...

...is one more win

TOP FOUR

Our Man Youk grounds out to third.

Drew pops out.

The Bay State whiffs. Garza is looking as sharp as Lester.

I'm not sure if I can take a 1-0 game.

Bottom Four

Iwamura knocks a clean single to left, Tampa's first hit.

BJ (Coming) Upton whiffs.

Northeastern's own Carlos Pena grounds into a fielder's choice, and then the Desperate Third Baseman hits it the other way for a double that scores Pena.

1-1. Tampa fans have some life now.

Carl Crawford whiffs on a high hard one.

Top Five.

This game is movin'!

Both pitchers are very sharp. Hopefully Boston has made Garza throw more pitches than Lester.

MK Ultra pops out.

Tek grounds out.

Cora is frozen for called strike three.

Bottom Five

The Lesser Aybar hits a flare into the left field corner, just missing a pop fly homer, and cruises in with a double.

Navarro works a 3-0 count. Trouble.
He grounds a slow ball to short, and Cora cannot make a play.

Two on, none out.

Baldelli singles to left, scoring Aybar. 2-1.

Jason Bartlett, who hits about as well as Jeb Bartlett, is up now.

Bartlett whiffs on a low curve. One down.

Iwamura grounds out to the mound on a jam shot, advancing the runners.

BJ Upton, a bad mamma jamma, hits a soft liner to short for the third out.

Phew. Not good, could have been worse.

Top Six

Coco hits a little dribbler, but is thrown out at first.

Boston only has one bleedin' hit in this game. They're working some deep counts, but so far only the one safe blow.

Our Man DP battles Garza to a 3-2 count, then works an 11 pitch walk.

Big Papi now.

Misses the first pitch by a mile, an outside fastball. Then another one, which he takes for a ball. Then a hard one, inside and up, that he misses by a foot. Then another fastball, way down and away, for a ball. Then a fouled off slider, in. Then a very close fastball, outside, for a 3-2 count. 99 pitches for Garza. Big pitch here. Navarro comes to the mound. Papi whiffs on a high hard one, up and in, and Pedroia is thrown out stealing by a mile for the third out.

Damn. That seems like a turning point.

Bottom Six

This might be the end, beautiful friend, the end....

Pena pops out.

Longoria flies out.

Crawford flies out to deep center.

So, Seventh Inning, Red Sox Nation turns its lonely eyes to you...woo woo woo....
